Jacked up teeth, acne everywhere, greasy looking hair, etc. It was like a troll left his cave to race motocross! Very few ads and those had him on the bike wearing a hemet! How many ads had Ricky Carmichael's face in them? James Stewart is getting his own show and you still can't pick up a MX rag without seeing Travis Pastrana's mug in it!

For girls it's more important. Guys are the target audience for motorcycle racing. The are the majority audience that watches it. Guys don't care if other guys are hot. They will still watch the races. For girls, guys aren't going to watch them just for the racing.

Boy that's for sure in most cases! It's been debated to death but I will never understand why women aren't out killing it in motorcycle racing. They seem physically perfect for it!

They don't have the same opportunities and equipment as the high caliber men.

Which explains why our Women's Cup series puts out a calendar every year (this year with less skin).
